Shingle Manor

Shingle Manor: New York

The chic, charcoal exterior to this manor-like home totally encapsulates New York riches and royals – welcome to The Hamptons. On your own private, wooded cul-de-sac lies this hidden home, with enough greenery and shade to rival the classic blue and white theme that iconises this coastline. Not to worry, the sand and sea might be out of view, but they are never out of reach. Close to Amagansett village, bay and ocean beaches, parks, and the farmers' market, you are perfectly situated in your own little (or rather large) bubble, capable of bursting it to venture into Long Island life whenever you so wish. A popular escape for the summer months, the light and bright whites of the interiors reflect the sunlight around the space, whilst cosier nooks in the library with its open fire make their own warmth in winter. An impressive guitar collection – presented like artwork on the walls – brings a sense of fun to the lower-level media room, and there's also a sauna and gym if you fancy working up a sweat. Your hosts will provide beach towels, chairs, and umbrellas, so all you have to do is firmly plant yourself on the sand, where you will probably remain for most of your stay.

Home truths:
*Due to the northeastern climate, outdoor pool/hot tub facilities tend to only be available throughout the summer months, so if your stay falls outside of this season, make sure to contact your host to check they are available
*At full occupancy one guest will be accommodated on a sofa bed on the second floor
